Arsenal in 'pole position' to sign Cengiz Under

It’s claimed that the Serie A side would accept an offer of €60m (£52m) as they would have to pay 20% of any future sale back to Basaksehir as part of the agreement when they signed the Turkey international in the summer of 2017.

Wilshere: Arsenal should make Ramsey captain

Jack Wilshere has urged Arsenal to do everything they can to retain the services of Aaron Ramsey and not allow him to leave on a free transfer at the end of the season because he would get into any of Arsenal’s rivals.

Six top flight wins in a row have given Unai Emery’s side some real momentum and the Spaniard will be hoping his side can pick up where they left off before the international break when Leicester visit the Emirates.

'Arsenal pondering Moreno swoop'

Liverpool are resigned to losing Alberto Moreno at the end of the season.

And according to the Mirror, that has alerted Arsenal - along with some of the top European clubs - as the Spain international leaves on a free transfer in the summer.

The defender has just eight months left on his Anfield contract, and has indicated he has no interest in renewing terms, despite the offer of an extended agreement, after losing his first team berth to Andy Robertson.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery is an admirer of the left back having worked closely with him previously at Sevilla, and the new Gunners boss is searching for reinforcements in that position.

He has made 32-year-old Nacho Monreal his first choice since the start of the season, and has lost faith in rival Sead Kolasinac to such an extent that he has been using young midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles as back up.

'Wenger to hijack Tottenham deal for Ndombele'

Paris Saint-Germain could hijack Tottenham’s proposed move for Tanguy Ndombele - with the help of Arsene Wenger.

Wenger has been tipped to take up a general manager role at PSG, working alongside Thomas Tuchel on transfers.

And he has already held a meeting with Tuchel to talk about the possibility of signing Ndombele, according to Paris United.

PSG have given minutes to a number of younger players this season and Wenger hopes this will persuade Ndombele to move to the French capital.

Emery stages training ground match as Arsenal stars take on the Under-23s

With so many Arsenal players available to Unai Emery on Thursday and with the game against Leicester still a long way off, the Gunners boss decided to stage a competitive training ground match against the under-23s to keep his players ticking over.

The discovery was made after an investigation by Ian Woolley, the chairman of the London Road Cemetery and Coventry City historian Lionel Bird.

Since then, conversations have been going on between Arsenal, Woolley, local historians, Arsenal supporters groups and Danksin’s family and plans have now been put in motion to honour the Scot, who was born in 1863, next year.

Forward says he wants Arsenal move

Waasland-Beveren striker Nana Opoku Ampomah says it is his dream to sign for Arsenal.

The Ghanaian has scored five times in nine appearances this season and has been touted for a big transfer in the near future.

And Ampomah says although a move to the Premier League would be a great opportunity, he only has eyes on a transfer to Arsenal.

Ampomah told sportsworldghana.com:

You can dream to play for Chelsea, Manchester United or Arsenal but then if they don’t come for you your dreams never comes true but we will see, I just have to work hard, focus on the game and we will see where I can get to.

But I think I like Arsenal more because I like their style of playing. It’s one of the teams I really liked growing up as a child so really like Arsenal. It will be a dream come true to play for Arsenal.

Sokratis injury blow

Unai Emery has confirmed that Sokratis is a major doubt for Monday night’s game against Leicester City.

He’s grown up to be a great player with Arsenal. They could do with someone like him. We know what he can do for the club.

For me he’s a future Arsenal captain. I know he loves the club. It’s difficult for me to comment on because I’m not there but I do know he’s a great player – if it was me I know I would want to keep him around.

He’s a great guy to have around. He’s been at the club so long and knows it inside out. If you look at what he’s done for the club too.

We went into the first team in the same year. He came from Cardiff and I came from the youth team. We automatically clicked because we were both young and new to that sort of environment.

Reiss Nelson on Hoffenheim move

Some Arsenal fans are already counting down the days until Reiss Nelson returns to north London from his Hoffenheim loan spell.

A scorer on his debut for the Bundesliga club, the winger signed off before international duty with another goal against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Having caught the eye so far in Germany, the youngster has revealed which player played a major role in his loan move back in August.

Henry reveals Guardiola made him "re-learn the game"

Thierry Henry claimed he was returning “home” as he was unveiled as the new Monaco coach today - and revealed he had to re-learn the game after leaving Arsenal to play under Pep Guardiola.

The Arsenal legend said he will take lessons from Arsene Wenger and the Manchester City boss into his first managerial job.

Henry started his career at Monaco under Wenger before moving to Juventus in 1999. At the age of 41, he is now taking over a club in the relegation zone in Ligue 1.

At a showbiz-style ceremony at Monaco Yacht Club, he said:

When the offer came, it was quite logical. My heart spoke. You know the connection I have with a club in London, but this is where I started.

This is my first club. It’s where I scored my first goal, where I blossomed with Arsene here.

It is a place which has a place in my heart. I have always looked for Monac’s results since I left and that will never change.

Now to come back, is extraordinary. It is a dream come true. I am very happy.

Henry insisted he would be “flexible” as a coach but cited Wenger and Guardiola as big influences.

If I talk about Arsene, he taught me how to be professional. He unlocked a lot of stuff in my mind. I will never forget that. You know the relationship I have with him. I will always carry some of the stuff he taught me.

Pep for me is the reference. I re-learned how to play the game at Barcelona under him. Pep talks about the game. You will fall asleep and he is still talking. Some of his invention – he is well ahead of the game. I saw it closely.

Arsenal reveal plans to honour founder buried in Coventry

As reported by Coventry Live, plans are underway to pay tribute to the founder of Arsenal FC - whose final resting place is an unmarked grave in Coventry.

David Danskin would have had no idea that the team that he founded with work colleagues at the Royal Arsenal munitions factory in Woolwich would go on to be one of the biggest teams on the planet.

But despite being forever etched in the history books as the man who started what became a giant of English football, David Danskin came to rest in an unmarked grave at Coventry’s London Road Cemetry.

Now, 69 years after being laid to rest, plans have been made to give celebrate David in a more fitting way.

A spokesman for Arsenal told us: “Arsenal Football Club is working with stonemasons to organise an appropriate headstone and looking at a date for a memorial service next year where representatives from the club will be present.”

Arsenal legend makes big Premier League prediction under Unai Emery

Arsenal will “100 per cent” be back in the Champions League next season, according to Robert Pires.

The Gunners have won their last six Premier League games and currently sit fourth in the table, and the club legend believes they will hold on to that spot.

For the moment I am very happy.Of course for the club because I am an ambassador for Arsenal but especially for Unai Emery because he’s a great manager.

He done well with Sevilla, he won some titles, especially with Paris Saint-Germain last season. And of course you know you need to improve every day but Arsenal actually are on a very good run, especially in the Premier League.

Nine games, nine victories so I think they will finish in the top four, sure, 100 per cent.

Chelsea favourites for Ramsey

Chelsea have been inserted as favourites to sign Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey ahead of Manchester United should the Welshman leave the Gunners this summer.

The midfielder, who has made over 200 appearances for the Gunners, is 6/4 to remain at the Emirates with Betway, but with his future seemingly still very much in the air, the Blues look ready to pounce if he decides to move on and are at 2/1.
